Have you ever had and STD?
These are nasty, horrible diseases~
Some people seem to think they are immune~
What a misconception~
Perhaps some information about it, please~
It’s not all gloom and doom~
They can be prevented with just some common sense~
Chlamydia such a funny name~
Is caused by a bacteria~
Symptoms can be mild or altogether absent~
Vaginal discharge, burning when urinating and discharge from the penis~
Hmmm, what a turn on~
Did you think about this before sex?
Pretty serious if left untreated~
Get tested and some antibiotics~
Oh goodie, there’s more~
Gonorrhea~
Another bacteria that loves warm, moist places~
Again sometimes there are no symptoms~
Oh guys, here’s what really sexy about this one~
Swollen testicles, pain when urinating and a greenish discharge from your penis~
Women can mistake it for a bladder infection~
Can show up in your rectum and throat~
Guess how that happens?
Isn’t sex so much FUN?
Gonorrhea can be drug resistant~
This is life threatening~
Pay attention~
Cause here comes Herpes~
Painful sore blisters~
On your mouth simplex 1~
On your genitals simplex 2~
And you don’t always see it right away~
No obvious outbreak needed for infection~
Unfortunately, more common in women~
Which leads into HPV or Human Papilloma Virus~
Ugly warts, 30 different genital types~
YIKES!!
Oh and let’s not forget those pesky buggahs~
CRABS~
You know lice on your pubes, they are parasite suckers~
Luckily, you can “wash them outta your hair” with permethrin~
No, I didn’t say I needed your permission~
To talk about a killer bacteria that is on the rise~
Syphills~
No I didn’t say Phyllis~
This STD can imitate other diseases~
Sores can come on the mouth, lips, vagina or anus~
If not treated, can cause dementia and death~
However the MacDaddy of all STDS~
Is HIV~
You know the Human Immunodeficiency Virus~
Spreads by blood, semen, breast milk and vaginal fluids~
Doesn’t care who you are, what you do or how much money you have~
There is no vaccine, no cure~
This virus can lead to AIDS and eventually death~
If you get one STD you are more prone to get HIV~
In fact Herpes plays the major role is spreading HIV among heterosexuals~
FOR REALS!
Let’s talk about sex, honey~
Are you at risk?
Better assess yourself~
Cuz this stuff ain’t funny~
Do you have sex with men, multiple partners w/ no protection or shoot drugs?
It only takes one time~
Uh-uh, don’t just shrug~
Condoms are not always 100% and you must use them correctly~
Monogamy or abstinence is the safest bet~
If you are gonna do the deed, protect yourself~
Wrap that rascal~
Glove the love~
Get tested~
Whew, sexual survival~
Exhausting, isn’t it?
Before the passion remember the lesson~
And in the end, you’ll be alive~

Happy St. Patrick's Day~

17 March is much more than just Guinness, pinching, and wearing green. Like many traditional holidays, St Patrick’s Day has roots in Paganism.

Paganism today goes by many names and is still a practised around the world, with roughly 250,000 neopagans in the United Kingdom alone. Pagan festivals and holidays tend to be rooted around deep connections with nature and natural seasonal cycles.

St Patrick’s Day honours the patron saint of Ireland, St Patrick, who was instrumental in transitioning Ireland away from Paganism towards Christianity.

You’ve probably heard the legend of St Patrick delivering a sermon so powerful it chased the snakes out of Ireland.

That story is believed by many to be a metaphor representing St. Pat chasing the Pagans and Druidic priests (the snakes) out of the country.

For the men and women who identify as Pagan, there are inimical feelings around the sordid history of the day and what it represents, with many choosing not to acknowledge it at all.
